Photos by Mark Kaye
We've all been there. You see the perfect moment, raise your camera, take the shot...and later find out it's blurry, dark or full of grain. More often than not, it isn't you or your camera. It's just one setting that wasn't quite right.
I've made those mistakes too, shooting in dark concert venues, on busy streets and in portrait sessions. So I turned everything I check before a shoot into one simple checklist, built around my SIMPLE system.
It walks you through focus, shutter speed, aperture, ISO and the one thing that's easy to forget, so you get sharper, cleaner pictures without the guesswork.
Save it to your phone and take it with you on your next shoot. It's free.
